Have you thought about becoming a foster carer?

Children and young people in foster care are often at a turning point in their lives. Whether it is for a few weeks, a period of months or a number of years, foster families can make a lasting difference through the care and support they provide.

We are particularly looking for people who are able to look after older children (9+) who have had difficult or traumatic life experiences. We work closely with our Consultant Psychologist to offer the best means of helping these young people to overcome these experiences.

We also need people who are able to care for sibling groups of all ages and also those who can care for parent and child (such as mother or father and baby) and assist in assessing their ability to care for their own child.

We are happy to consider experienced carers, including those with children and young people in placement, who are entitled to transfer with you.
